About the Role

STV's Washington, DC Architecture practice is seeking an Architectural Designer I to join our multidisciplinary design team. This position offers broad exposure to architectural practice, allowing individuals to develop toward their strongest areas over time, supporting complex public projects across multiple phases of design and delivery.

Responsibilities

Support architectural design, planning, documentation, visualization, and project coordination.
Assist with the development of floor plans, reflected ceiling plans, elevations, sections, enlarged plans, details, schedules, diagrams, and other architectural drawings.
Develop and maintain Revit models and drawing content in accordance with project standards.
Contribute to design studies, option development, diagrams, renderings, physical or digital models, and presentation materials.
Develop an understanding of building assemblies, materials, detailing, constructability, accessibility, life safety, and the relationship between architectural and engineering systems.
Participate in coordination with structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, civil, and other disciplines.
Assist project architects and project managers with meeting materials, coordination tracking, issue documentation, and other project delivery activities.
Explore and apply digital tools, workflows, automation, visualization, and emerging technologies.
Incorporate markups accurately, check work for completeness and consistency, and develop disciplined habits around model and drawing quality.
Work across different project types, design phases, and assignments, communicating progress and asking questions when requirements are unclear.
Build experience across design, technical delivery, coordination, and project management while developing a clearer long-term professional direction.

Requirements

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Architecture from an accredited program.
0–5 years of professional architectural experience.
Strong architectural fundamentals, including an understanding of plans, sections, elevations, spatial relationships, and basic building organization.
Proficiency in Autodesk Revit, including the ability to navigate and work effectively within an established project model, create and modify architectural elements, develop and organize views, sheets, annotations, dimensions, tags, and schedules, work with levels, grids, linked models, view templates, visibility settings, and basic worksharing workflows, modify existing families and parameters and create simple project-specific content when needed, incorporate markups accurately while maintaining model and drawing consistency, and understand the relationship between the Revit model and the resulting architectural documentation.
Ability to communicate architectural ideas through drawings, diagrams, models, and graphics.
Strong attention to detail and willingness to develop sound documentation habits.
Curiosity about how buildings are designed, coordinated, constructed, and operated.
Ability to learn new software, workflows, project requirements, and technical concepts.
Willingness to work across different project types, project phases, and assignments rather than specializing too early in one area.
Strong collaboration and communication skills and the ability to respond constructively to feedback.
Experience with Adobe Creative Suite, Rhino, Enscape, or other architectural design and visualization tools.
Exposure to construction documentation, architectural detailing, multidisciplinary coordination, or construction administration.
Experience with computational design, automation, scripting, BIM workflows, data-driven design, AI-assisted workflows, or other design technology applications.
Interest in transportation, civic, federal, institutional, infrastructure, or other complex public projects.
Interest in pursuing architectural licensure and continued professional development.
